The South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian
Exposition, Charleston, S. C, Dec. 1, 1 90 1 , June 1, 1 902

Scope of the
Exposition.

SHE South Carolina Inter-State and West
Indian Exposition, which will be held in
the City of Charleston from December 1,
1901, to June 1, 1902, will reveal to the world the
marvellous development of the South in the last quar-
ter of the Nineteenth Century. From a purely
agricultural State, South Carolina has in the brief
period of twenty-five years, attained the position of
leading the Southern States in cotton manufactures,
and stands second only to Massachusetts in the
entire Union. But South Carolina is not the only
Southern State which has developed amazingly along
commercial lines in the same period, and so from a
South Carolina Exposition, it became an Inter-State
affair, and then there seemed no good reason why
the enormous resources of the United States as a
whole should not have a place in the picture. Tt also
seemed good and right to have all the great cities, as
well as the States of the Union represented in the
Avenue of Cities and States, and it appeared espec-
ially proper and feasible to show the resources and
industries of our new possessions in the West Indies,
of the Philippines, of Mexico, and of the South and
Central American Republics. Then it was proposed
that many of the specially interesting foreign exhib-
its should be removed from Paris to Charleston.

COPYKIOHf APPLIED FOR.

Thus the Exposition became national and even inter-
national in character.

The scope of the Exposition is thus very broad, and
while it was designed primarily to tell the world the
story of the great re volution in commercial conditions
which has taken place in the South during the last
quarter of the Nineteenth Century, it is also designed
to do far more than this. One of the main features
of the Exposition will be a Textile Building, in which
an object lesson will be given of the wonderful devel-
opment of cotton manufactures in the Sonth in the
past twenty years. Liberal space will be given to
exhibits of agricultural products peculiar to the
South, such as tea, hemp and tobacco, also to home
exhibits of non-agricultural products, such as phos-
phates; to exhibits of forestry, of fish and fisheries.
What South Carolina is accomplishing in the line of
education will be shown to the world, the varied re-
sources of each county in the State will be exploited
in detail, and the exhibit of live stock will be espec-
ially fine. The Good Roads Exhibit will prove of
paramount importance to the people of the country,
and above all the exhibits from Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines, Mexico and the South and Central
American Republics will command the most general
and vital interest. Nor will this interest be aroused

nr.ufly fnm cumsity with regard to foreign coun-
tries and to our new possessions, but the business
sense of the visitors to the Exposition will lead them
to observe with special attention all that points to a
further expansion of American trade and to new
markets for American manufactures. With Cuba
and Porto Rico importing most of their rice from the
British East Indies, and importing also all wheat,
corn, bread stuffs, hog and dairy products, in fact,
most of the necessai ies of life, and with all the West
Indian Islands impoiting and needing large and con-
stantly increasing supplies of cotton goods, there
should be a market for everything raised and pro-
duced in the South, and in America, at our very
doors.

e State ^ne General Assembly of f-outh Carolina pas'ed a

jports f/irresolution in January, 1900, approving the project of

position, holding an Inter-State and International Exposition

in Charleston, and in January, 1901, passed an Act

appioprii.ting $50,000 forth** purpose of erecting a

Stale Building on the Exposition grounds and making

a complete display of the products and resources of
the State. The resolution was adopted unanimously.
The Bill was passed almost without objection, the
vote in the State Senate being mote than four to one
in favor of the Bill, and in the House exactly four
to one. The Governor of the State has appointed a
Special Commission of five members to direct the
State exhibit.

on T^e ^ity Council of Churleston has appropriated
d other f50,< 00 in aid of the Exposition, and has designated
ties. a Special Commission to assist the Exposition Com-
pany in its work. The Exposition has received the

cordial approval of
many of the largest
cities in the country
and the City of Bal-
timore, Man land,
will erect a building
on the Exposition
grounds for the pur-
pose of making an
exhibit of the re-
sources of Maryland
and the commercial
andindustrial wealth
of Baltimore. Other
special buildings on
the Exposition
grounds will be
erected by New York,
Philadelphia, Penn-
sylvania, Illinoisand
the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposiiion
Company, and assu-
rances have been received from a number of other
States of their intention to be represented at the Ex-
position in Charleston.

Mr. Theodore C. Kiwuff has been for months work- pet

ing as a Special Commissioner of the Exposition to rniss cner.

the West Indies, Cuba and Puerto Rico. His large
experience in Expo-ition work and his familiarity
with the language and the commercial conditions of
the West Indies has enabled him to enlist the co-op-
eration of those whe are engaged in busings and
industrial occupations.

The site chosen by the Board of Directors for the
Exposition is a tract of about one hundred and sixty
acres of land on the eastern bank of the Ashley River
about two and aha'f miles from the business centre
of the city, and within the city limits. This tract of
land is considered by Mr. Bradford L. Gilbert, the
Supervising Architect of the South Carolina Inter-
State and West Indian Exposition, as constituting
an ideal site for the fairy-land of palaces «nd towers
and gardens whk-h is springing up there like
ma«ic under the touch of Twentieth Century wizards.
The slightly rolling country lends itself readily to
varied and artistic effects, and the magnificent live
oaks, with their sh»dowy and graceful pendants of
Spanish moss, constitute a feature which no money
could supply. The beautiful groves and green slopes

provide a per-
f e c t back-
ground for

and land-
scape gar-
dener to work
upon, and the

country
around, and
the sparkling
river which
skirts the Ex-
p o s i t io n
grounds upon
the west,
while not ac-
tually part
and parcel of
the tract, fur-
nish no mean
setting for
the splendid
picture.

The Wagener Driving Park, which is included in
the Exposition grounds as Ihey now stand, forms an
important part of the grounds, and will be used as a
race course and improved for this purpose by the
Exposition Company. On the Wagener Farm there
stamls also an old colonial home which was the scene
of lavish comfort and open-hearted hospitality in
days gone by. This house is a good example of colo-
nial architecture, and will be used as the Woman's
Building.

The entire tract is easy of access from the city by
private conveyance or electric railroad system, and
from other points by steam railway on the east side,
and by water transportation from the west side of the
Ashley River, the grounds having a river frontage of
about 2,000 feet, and the river at this point affording
anchorage for the largest vessels.

The making of a lake some thirty acres in extent
constitutes an important feature of the work, and the
planting of indigenous plants and vines, which, in
this genial clime, grow vigorously and thrive even
during the winter months, has been accomplished.

OAPT. F. W. WAQiNIR,
PBHIDIHT EXPOtlTION CO.

The principal buildings of the Exposition are eleven
iif number. By a happy accidental shaping of the
irregular tract constituting the site, it has been pos-

sible to treat it after two distinct methods, by one of
which the natural features are emphasized and pre-
served, while the other is treated entirely from the
standpoint of art. In the northern division of the
site nature has accomplished results and made possi-
ble landscape effects which it would take Centuries to
reproduce, even at an enormous outlay. For this
reason this half of the Exposition grounds will form
a natural park of great beauty. Instead of the usual
dusty, blinding, tiresome, shadeless roadway, a wind-
ing path of 100 feet in width will be carried under
the spreading live oaks along the edge of the lake
with sea's in shady nooks for tired pedestrians, where
those who are capable of appreciating the work of the
Architect of the Universe in all its magnificent sim-
plicity may enjoy a sense of repose. Through the
foliage, placed here and there upon appropriate ped-
estals, will be found interesting groups of statuary
by the most celebrated sculptors.

On account of its
peculiarly "South-
ern atmosphere" no
comparison can be
made, nor is desired,
with any other Ex-
position, and the
South Carolina In-
ter-State and West
Indian Exposition
will have the advan-
tage of certain per-
fecrly original feat-
ures impossible else-
where.

Undoubtedly
Charleston is one of
the most interesting
of the older South-
ern cities, contain-
ing as it does so
many quaint, pic-
turesque bits of

architectural design of strictly colonial type.
These it is proposed to emphasize and thus carry
out the predominating feature of the Exposition in
harmony.

In the natural division of the grounds will be a Lake
with a wide embankment. In this Lake will b« Elec-
trical Island, on which will stand an Electrical Foun-
tain of unique and symbolic design. This Lake has
been fancifully named by the Architect "Lake Juan-
ita." and upon its eastern shore the Maryland Build-
ing, a siructure of classic design, has been erected.

JOHN F. FICKEN,
GtNlRAL COUNSEL EXPOSITION CO.

On the opposite side of this Lake the Machinery and
Transportation Buildines have been erected.

These buildings, which are rather long «nd low in
outline, will gain height and grace from the reflec-
tions in the.'Lake, while at night the rows ol lights

of varied hues carried along the buildings, and sus-
pended in the trees will add enchantment to the
scene. In this part of the grounds there is a
grand avenue dedicated to States and Cities.

The Negro Building is, in its general architectural
features, of the Spanish Renaissance
order, of a strongly Mexican mission
type. The building will be some-
thing like the letter H in general
outline. It will have two wings en-
closing an inner court, and will con-
tain twelve thousand square feet
of space. The exhibit made in this
building is designed to show the de-
velopment of the negro race in the
last twenty-five years. No man of
his race is better able to handle this
project than Booker T. Washing-
ton, the head of the Negro Depart-
ment.

The Art Building, Fisheries Build
ing and the Grand Stand from which
the sports and contests on the race
track can be viewed, also occupy
this part of the grounds.

The present homestead, with all its delightful color
and outlines, will be retained for the Woman's
Building of the South Carolina Inter-State und West

Indian Exposition. The Architect has designed a
very handsome annex to this building in harmony
with its true colonial lin^s.

On the Ashley Ri'-er side of this property a sea wall
has been built for the purpose of utility as forming
an axis upon which the State and
Art Buildings'will parallel.

A pier has been carried out far
enough into the river to admit of the
landing~of vessels'and boats.

Indirect contrast, the southernlside
of the grounds, comprising the level
land of thelold Washington Race
Course, is treated according to. the
rules of the highest type of art.
Grouped around the." four sides of a
beautiful plaza are the principal Ex-
position buildings. While each is
designed with an individual treat-
ment, they form together a harmoni-
ous whole, the entire effect leading
up by natural gradations to the Tex-
tile BuUdingor Cotton Palace, which
covers over 50,000 square feet of
ground, and will prove the most im-
posing and impressive of the structures. This
building rises to a height1 of 160 feet and shows a
facade of over 360 ft- et, broken by various'pediments,
projections, dome-«, red-tiled roofs and turrets, in] a
typically Southern style of architecture. The_motif

is Spanish-American with huge masses, simple and
strong contour and outlines, with enrichments of
terraces and sculpture at various entrances and initial

points. Ita entire Court or Patio (100 feet in diam-
eter), will be filled with tropical plants and enriched
by fountains. At the right of the plaza, the Com-
merce, or Liberal Arts Building, will be erected.
Opposite this will be the building devoted to Agri-

cultural and similar exhibits, containing over 43.COO
square feet of floor area At the northern end of the
plaza will be the Auditorium, with a seating capacity
of nearly 4,000, in which will be placed the grand
organ now being specially constructed by M. P. Mol-
ler, of Hagerstown, Maryland, for the Exposition.
A careful study of this grand plaza or Court of Honor
will easily demonstrate the many points of interest
obtainable. While the buildings will be separated by
several hundred feet, the colonnade connecting the
three principal structures will euhance the continuity
and give repose and dignity to the design.

The plaza between the buildings occupies a length
of nearly 1,200 feet and a width of over 90U feet. At
its center, some 7liO feet in length by 45t) feet in
width, there is a beautiful sunken garden with slop-
ing terraces of verdant green.

On the edge of this garden, around its sides, will
be carried lines of stalely paluiettoes, with walks and
se«ts between, forming a fringe of delightful outline
and coloring, through which can be seen the build-
iugs themselves rich in design and color. Carried
entirely around thtse gardens, and opening off the
principal avenues of approach will be a continuous
plaza smoothly paved, over 150 feet in width, en-
riched on either side at intervals by ever-blooming
flowers, masses of green lawn, and here and there at
points of interest groups of statuary set off against the
green of the foliage. At night the beauties of the
sunken garden and the lights and shades of the build-
ings will be emphasized by search lights in all direc-
tions.

At the entrance to the Exposition grounds stands
the Administration Building, covering about 15,000
square feet. The first impression on entering the
grounds at any of the entrances will be one of im-
pressive magnificence. The building devoted to
Minerals and Forestry, covering an
area of 20,000 square feet, stands oppo-
site the Administration Building. The
impo-ing entrance of the Midway will
open off the ?atne plaza. About 22
acres of ground has been devoted to the
various Midway attractions, always one
of the most interesting and instructive
of modern Expositions.

Opposite this entrance will be found
another entrance of different design,
but equally appropriate treatment,
leading to the Live Stock Exhibit,
for which 15 acres of ground have been
set aside.

In addition to the Grand Band Stand,
placed at the northern end of the gardens, on
the plaza, other stands will be erected throughout

the grounds, where those who enjoy outdoor music
may do so to their heart's content.

The buildings will be constructed of a strong tim-
ber frame work with such iron M may be required for

stiffness and additional strength, and the entire ex-
posed surfaces will be covered with what is now gen-
erally known as "staff." The predominating colors

will be a soft ivory with white trimming?, and in
many cases a color enrichment in shades of red and
orange.

Mr. Bradford L. Gilbert, the Architect-in-Chief of
the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian
Exposition, is a native of New York City. In 1875,
he was graduated f iom Yale College with honors, and
then took a special course in architecture, after which
he entered the firm of Cady, Burgh & Company, of
New York City. While connected with this firm Mr.
Gilbert had a share in the building of the Metropoli-
tan Opera House and other important architectural
work in New York.

Mr. Gilbert has made a specialty of heavy construc-
tion work, such as churches and public buildings.
He has devoted in jch time to the solution of intricate
problems in the construction of railroad stations and
terminals, and is now employed as the architect of
about a dozen of the leading railroad systems of the
country. Among the more impottant buildings that
have been constructed from Mr. Gilbert's designs and
under his supervision are the general offices of the
Mexican National Railway, in the Ciiy of Mexico,
the new depot at Concord, New Hampshire, and the
office and terminal building of the Illinois Central
and Big Four and the Michigan Central at Chicago.
Mr. Gilbert has recently reconstructed the Grand
Central Depot in New York City, and has received
unqualified praise for the fine artistic taste and busi-
ness ability displayed by him in this work.

Mr. Gilbert is especially fitted for the position he
holds in th» South Carolina Inter-State and West In-
dian Exposition, by rtaaon of his large experience in

Exposition building. At the World's Fair at Chi-
cago, he gave:evidence!of,his capacity in this particu-
lar kind of construction, and fifteen of the more im-
portant buildings of the great Cotton Exposition held
at Atlanta, in 1895, were made from his designs and
under his supervision. He is thoroughly satisfied with

the artistic possibilities of the site chosen for the
South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposi-
tion, and has employed in his work at Charleston the
most capable designers and architects to be found in
the South and in the United States.

a. Gardens Hemisphere is that produced at the Pinehurst Te.i
Gardens, a short distance from Charleston. This ex-
hibit will be absolutely unique, and will, no doubt,
prove one of intense interest to visitors. It will be
both scientific and commercial in character. The tea
plant will be shown growing upon the Exposition
grounds, and the various processes of picking, drying,
curing and packing will be practically illustrated for
the benefit of visitors. To the thoughtful mind this
exhibit will be one of exceptional value as offering a
new field to industry and capital, supplying an easy
and healthful livelihood to idle thousands, and im-
parting a value to immense tracts of now waste lands.

Twenty-four btates and cities of the United States
hare made provision for State Buildings or State ex-
hibits at the Exposition. New York has appro-
priated $16,000 for a State Building and State ex-
hibit; Maryland $25,000 for the same purpose.:
Philadelphia $35,00<» for a Philadelphia Building and

a splendid ubibit of the historic and art treasures
of that city, with the Liberty Bell set in the midst
thereof. The Slate of Illinois has appropriated
$25,00(1 for a State Building ai Charleston; the State
of Pennsylvania $35,000 for the like purpose; the
State of Kansas has appropriated $M),00<> for an ex-
hibit at Charleston and the State of
Oregon, $'<J5,COO. The State of
North Carolina will make an exhibit
costing from $?5,(:0'» to $100,000.
The Slate of Missouri ha-< appropri-
ated $10,000 for a State Building
at Charleston, and the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company will erect
a building at Charleston at a cost of
$10,000. Louisiana and Georgia
and Alabama have provided for ex-
hibits at Charleston, and a string of
other States and Cities will be rep-
resented at the South Carolina Inter-
.state and West Indian Exposition.
The value of these exhibits to
home-seekers and capitalists cannot
be over estimated.

A CORNER IN COLONIAL LAKt.

Cooper Rivers, very much as New York lies between
the East and North Rivers. It contains Pome fln*
specimens of old colonial architecture and is a city of

sunshine and roses, being famous for its bright and
genial winter climate and for its rose gardens. It is
a city of safe, conservative business methods; its
prosperity is real and substantial, but its inhabitants,
while eminently social and hospitable in tempera-
ment, are not given to display. Some of its institu-
tions and customs are survivals from an old-world
past and full of interest and charm to the lover of
the olden time.

On the Ashley and the Cooper are the old baronial
estates of the wealthy rice planters and slave owners
who once constituted the aristocratic cla's of South
Carolina. Many of these fertile old plantations hav«
been abandoned because of new conditions, but
many are still occupied by families that have owned
them for two centuries, and within these homes, if
one can gain admission there, may be seen such won-
derful antique furniture, old portraits and mi natures
and other relics of colonial days as would delight the
heart of the collector.

The harbor of Charleston is one of the most spacious
and beautiful on the Atlantic Coast. With 30 feet
of water on the bar, and an open port all the year
round, and with its nearness to our new market in the
West Indies, Charleston is destined to hold a com-
manding position among Atlantic commercial ports
in the Twentieth Century.

St. Michael's Church is one of the oldest and most
interesting churches in Charleston. It attracts the
attention of every visitor by the
graceful lines of its steeple and
by the sweet chiming of its bells.
The romantic incidents connected
with the?e chimes add much to
the attractions of the old church
itself. St. Michael'* was opened
for service in 1761. Battered by
shot and shell during two wars,
shattered by the terrible earth-
quake of 1883, it still remains
the pride of the modern Charles-
tonian, as it has been that of
generations passed away.

The South Carolina Inter-State
and West Indian Exposition
will afford a splendid opportunity
for the extension of industrial and commercial enter-
prise in the West Indies and in Central and South
America. These countries have a population
of more than 50,000,000, living in lands un-

suited to the production of bread^tuffs and meet
and the manufacturing of cloth, but producing
in abundance coffee, sugar, fruit, tobacco and
other articles in general consumption in the
country. The City of Charleston is admirably
adapted to the development of the most intimate

trade relations with these countries. For example,
the distance from Havana to Cincinnati by way of
Charleston is 300 miles less than by way of Baltimore ;
500 miles less than by way of New York and 500
miles less than byway of Boston. Charleston has
the same advantage as regards the whole of the West
Indies and Central and South America, and, with any-
thing like a proper development of railroad lines,
even the Gulf ports, with all their admitted advan-
tages, should not be able to compete successfully
With Charleston as a port through which to transact
an immense West Indian and South American busi-
less. To Charleston the voyage is less perilous and
nsurance and other charges should be much less to
his port than to the Gulf ports. As compared with
hese latter ports, Charleston has no equal as a desir-
able outlet for the products of the great West. By
Bailing vessel the run from Charleston to the British
ports is ten days less than from New Orleans, and
this difference alone ought to be sufficient to make
it to the interest of the West to trade through Charles-
ton.

The nearness of Charleston to the new West Indian
possessions of the United States, the safety of navi-

gation and the fine railroad and terminal facilities
of this port wilFmake this Exposition of special value
and importance to Southern manufacturers and mer-
chants for the development cf new and larger trade
relations with the West Indies. Cuba is an immensely
rich countrr, its soil being so exceedingly fertile that
sugar cane has been grown in the same fields for cen-
turies wilhout the aid of fertilizers, and although the
industries of that country have been fearfully devas-
tated by war, under the never »nd better conditions
of independence the re is every reason to believe that
the development of Cuba within the rear future win
far exceed the wildest dreams of the enthusiast. Be-
sides the immensely rich products of the Cuban sugar
and tobf ceo fields, the weeded weaJth of Cuba and
its orchards and vineyards offer spl< ndid opportuni-
ties for the investment of .American capital and de-
velopm^ent by~American energy. Wit ha population!
tJy~the~liTsTSfarmh census, of 1,681,687, and wilhout
manufacturing establishments of their own, a splen-
did field is waiting in Cuba for occupation by:the
manufacturers of the United States, ard particularly
by the manufacturers of cot con goods in the Southern
part < f this country.

There is a fine field also in Porto Rico for Ameri-
can occupation — not occupation by arms, or as the
result of military conquest, but occupation by the
merchants and manufacturers of the United States
and particularly of i he merchants and manufacturers
of the Southern States. With a population, by the
last Spanish census, of 814,708, all of whom have to
be clothed and fed, there is a market for United
States manufactured goods and food materials which
would yield a most handsome revenue to this country
if it were diligently cultivated.

As it is in the West Indies so it is also in the South

American countries where there has been slight manu-
facturing development, but where there a*e millirrs
of people who ought to wear clothes and who have a
great deal to exchange for them in the way of barter
and' trade. It is one of the thief purposes of the
Exposition at Charleston to open a way for the mer-
chants and manufacturers and industrial workers of
the United States to enlarge these new lines and
markets for the sale of American products ard the
exchange in return of what is grown in the countries
to the South of us. It is for this reason that the
name of the Exposition at Charleston was made "The

South Carolina Intfr- State and West Indian Exposi-
tion."
